Techno Nibbles - Fellow of the Day

An early posting for Fellow of the day.  We (actually the house of wedlock) is hosting a little party for professors, sponsors and friends - drinking is expected so best I blog before the whisky.


Fellow of the Day - Amina otherwise known as Techno Nibbles






Fast Facts


1) She is a sweetie pusher.  It starts off so innocently, have a biscuit, have a cookie, have a pink starburst then escalates into piles of biscuits, cookies and pink starbursts.  Her smile and 'but I got this for you' makes the toughest dieter crumble. (Hence the name Nibbles)
2) Amina is an expert negotiator. She turned her extra compact car into a Grand Jeep Cherokee at the hire car company.  The hire car staff didn't stand a chance against the charm, wit and focussed determination.
3) Designated driver - she will drive anywhere, at anytime, and feels that the rules are for guidance only.  She rocks. :)

Steve, Stevedore, Spiller

Here is Steve - my Fellow of the day.



Fast Facts

1) Steve is going to be a daddy!!
2) He is the messiest eater in the world - either that or he likes to start food fights.  Be careful to avoid sitting with him when he is eating soup, ice cream or coffee
3) He drinks lite beer (but we all still like him)

DaddyO is Fellow of the Day

So another day, another Fellow - and the obligatory pic of me and my dead animal which will be my dinner.


So DaddyO (otherwise known as Mark) is... well... the daddy.


Fast facts about DaddyO
1) He is the actual Daddy of Robbie, Charlotte and Olivia, so that must be the most rockin' occupation in the world.  Sal is his super fab wife (whom we all hope to meet soon in person rather than on skype) is even more rockin' for  managing the Simmers clan and menagerie - Boston, Leddy (hope I spelt that correctly) and the new puppy (name forgotten). Hands in the air for Sal!!
2) He (Mark) enjoys Lobster almost as much as I do (pictorial evidence above)
3) Even through he made me cycle up a hill to find him in a random part of Boston, he is a great cycle buddy and can navigate the traffic lights and low bridges like a pro.


So a pic for my mum and dad - me and the lobster I ate (and yes it is a bad hair day)

Fellow of the Day

My time at Babson is coming to a close. I will be saying bye to most of my Fellows next week and the fun we've had here in Boston as we head off to our externships in January.  So I decided to have a Fellow of the Day starting today.  9 school days, 9 Fellows..


The first Fellow is Sandrine or as I like to call her Sandy Pandy (which might not be Sandrine's favourite name)




Fast Facts about Sandy Pandy -
1) She has made 'Booty Popping' the official dance of the Fellows
2) Her birthday is the same as mine - woop woop birthday buddy
3) She is resistant to techno nibbles sweetie pushing

Jean and Bob

Jean is fab.  She looks after us all week at school and she invited us round to her  (amazing) home for a friday night home cooked meal.  Her equally fab hubby Bob welcomed us into the house and as the night proceeded, we ate and drank everything!!!  


Jean's home made Blueberry pie was apparently amazing - but as I find blueberries slightly evil I can't comment on the taste.  It does look super!


Pie


Bob & the girls


Jean & the boys
The videos of the evening's dancing can be purchased from me - equally I can be paid off to misplace them.
